Ex-Lumberman Succumbs After Operation.
Prominent Resident of Portland Believed Recovering From Appendicitis Attack.
Hollis Elbert Alger, well-known resident of Portland, who died suddenly at his home, 1166 East Davis street, Thursday night, was a native of the city and formerly head of the Alger Logging Company, which operated on the Coweeman river, near Skamokawa, Wash. His unexpected death was a severe shock to his many friends in Portland.
Mr. Alger was stricken with appendicitis a few weeks ago but rallied from an operation and was being cared for at his residence by his mother, Mrs. Mira C. Alger, and his wife, Mrs. Harriet Alger. Funeral services will be held at 2 o’clock this afternoon from the Holman undertaking parlors and interment will be in Riverview.
Mr. Alger was born in Portland June 28, 1874, and was educated in the schools here. In early days he played in several orchestras and was prominent in musical circles. His father, the late Hollis Alger, was one of the pioneer loggers of the northwest and at the age of 16 his son went into the logging camps on the Coweeman river and became an active manager in his father’s extensive operations.
For the past ten years Mr. Alger has been head of the Alger Logging company with camps in the Skamokawa district, but his residence has been in Portland. He was a prominent member of the Portland Consistory of Scottish Rite Masons and was also a member of Al Kader temple of the Shrine. He was also active in civic affairs and a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
He is survived by his mother, widow and two brothers, Edgar B. Alger of the Northwest National bank and Morton D. Alger, who has been associated with him in the activities of the Alger Logging company.
